Itai Liptz Cook Blog: Broccoli Chicken Divan

Chicken and broccoli florets are smothered in a rich and creamy sauce, topped with cheese, and baked until warm and bubbly.

I serve this easy Chicken Divan recipe with rice, egg noodles, or creamy mashed potatoes.

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. Chicken Divan reheats and freezes well. Add a splash of milk for reheating if needed.

Prep Time 15 minutes minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes minutes

Total Time 35 minutes minutes

Servings 6 servings

1 ½ pounds broccoli florets cut into bite size pieces3 cups cooked chopped chicken1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese divided10.5 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup or condensed chicken soup, 1 can⅔ cup sour cream½ cup milk½ teaspoon garlic powder½ teaspoon onion powder½ teaspoon dry mustard powder½ teaspoon black pepper¼ teaspoon seasoned salt

Topping

3 tablespoons Panko bread crumbs or seasoned bread crumbs1 tablespoon melted butter

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes or until tender-crisp. Drain well and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup cheddar cheese, condensed soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, dry mustard, pepper, and seasoned salt.

Stir in drained broccoli and chicken. Transfer the mixture to a 9×13 casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.

In a small bowl, mix the butter and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the topping over the chicken mixture.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are lightly browned and the mixture is bubbly and hot.

Serve over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes, as desired.

Broccoli: Cook the broccoli just until tender crisp, as it will cook a bit more in the oven. Drain well so the sauce doesn’t get watery. 
Frozen broccoli: Frozen broccoli can be used however the texture is a bit softer. Cook according to package directions and drain well.
Store leftover chicken divan in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat with a bit of milk on the stovetop or in the microwave.
